In the last few days, there have been many reports about anger at the Meridian House office which houses radio stations operating under the Excellence In Broadcasting Network over unpaid salaries to employees.
The reports sighted online revealed that some of the employees had gone nine straight months without salaries and as a result, they decided to demonstrate against the management of the company.
